Im trying to create a MIPS program that corrects bad data using Hamming codes. The program is to request the user to enter a 12-bit Hamming code and determine if it is correct or not. If correct, it is to display a message to that effect. If incorrect, it is to display a message saying it was incorrect and what the correct data is (the 12-bit Hamming code) again in hex. I will be testing only with single bit errors, so the program should be able to correct my tests just fine. You do not need to worry about multiple bit errors.
The following MIPS assembly language program has error, please help fix it:
# MIPS program to correct bad data using Hamming codes
.data
prompt: .asciiz "Enter a 12-bit Hamming code (in hex): "
result: .asciiz "The entered code is correct!"
error: .asciiz "The entered code is incorrect. The correct code is: "
newline: .asciiz "\n"
.text
.globl main

Here's the error:
